NOTICES

Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act

[44 Pa.B. 4598]
[Saturday, July 19, 2014]

 This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C.A. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation during consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program has received notice that the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC) is seeking United States Army Corp of Engineers authorization for the installation of a temporary floating park at the Marina at Penn's Landing on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

 The proposed installation will include three floating spud barges secured using six 18" diameter steel pipe pile spuds installed below the mudline. The barges will be configured in a U-shape with two 80` x 33` barges perpendicular to the existing seawall and one 80` x 30` barge parallel to the existing seawall, approximately 85 feet offshore. Prefabricated gangways will be utilized to access barges from land. Barge topside treatment includes stage, seating, trellis, deck treatment, sand to provide level surface, trees and other plantings contained in planters, shipping containers to dispense food and drink, a lily pad garden and a cantilevered net lounge. An electric conduit will be run from the landside down to the upriver (north) perpendicular barge to provide power for barge topside activities. Temporary entertainment stalls and timber decking will be placed on the landside of barges. The proposed activity will occur from end of July to September 2014 (3 months).

 This project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it is a Federal license and permit activity and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on this Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.

 In accordance with 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart D (relating to consistency for activities requiring a Federal license or permit), DRWC has certified that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's approved Coastal Resources Management Program. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Certification from the Department contact listed as follows.

 The Department will consider all comments received by August 4, 2014, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail must include the originator's name and address. Written comments should be submitted to Matt Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, Interstate Waters Office, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8465, Harrisburg, PA 17101-8465, (717) 772-2196, RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.
